The
monsoons have impacted crops and sugarcane and urad
crops have been hit hard, reports CNBC-TV18.
Flooding
in the key urad growing areas of Maharashtra, Vidharbha
and Andhra Pradesh is expected to hurt both crop quality
and yield.
Meanwhile,
the flood situation has worsened in the main sugar growing
areas in Maharashtra such as Satara, Sangli and Kolhapur.
This could impact yield and sugar associations are still
assessing the damage.
For
cotton, the damage has been limited to Parbhani in Maharashtra
and some areas of Andhra Pradesh as sowing is almost complete.
The
red chilli crop has been spared, except for some early
sowing in Warangal, Andhra Pradesh.
One
crop that''s benefiting from the downpour is the soyabean
crop.
The sowing for this crop is nearly complete and the good
amount of rain in Madhya Paradesh will help yields.
Rajasthan
continues to suffer poor rainfall and this could impact
the guar crop.
